Blue (feat. Sampha)

What would you do if all of your pennies were limitless?
Would all your spending be frivolous?
All eyes are on you to cover the damages
Would you be generous managing?
Would you be calm or be panicking?
Does the pound turn us to savages?
How do weigh up or balance this?
How would you feel? What would you do if your life was covered in bandages?
If you had a family of four and the kids wanted things you could never afford?
Bailiffs are banging the door
Parents are loosing they memory
Your brother is in penitentiary
He writing to you but he ain't there mentally

How would you feel? What would you do if you didn't know your identity?
The love of you life is wanting to see you but work is draining your energy
What would say to your baby girl when she asks you of white supremacy?
This generation is fucking the kids up and I'm just providing the remedies
How would you feel? What would you do if you have to write in loving memory?
We all afraid of seeing the casket making a home in the cemetery
The truth is hard to swallow, the truth is God still loves your enemies
I know the story of Jonah
I know I come with a different aroma
I know my mind is a textbook that they can learn from even though I ain't got a diploma
Why are we waiting? What is the hold up?

Ain't no one asking to live in our shoes
From the same place, with different views
Asking for help was never the move
Too much pride and too much to lose
It's true

There's a light that we take and carry on
You and I found a way to be strong

So how would you feel? What would you do if you thought the world was against you?
You didn't talk to an Angel
Told them you needed some guidance
You was suffering in silence
Like you're on a desert island
Feeling hopeless, lifeless
Your body contracted self doubt and that is a horrible virus
Is this an incurable climate?
Everybody's on auto pilot
But wanna get the diamond in the rough
With minimal effort to find it
It's lonely at the top but not in the way they described it
Who do you pity or side with?
Who do you ride for? Who do you slide with?
What is the saint you racking up mileage for?
Can you see past all my minor flaws?
Are you the type to abide the law?
Are you the kind to be risking your life?
What is the cause you are dying for?
Always believed it was bigger than me
Even when blurry and I couldn't see, yeah
God said I'm the best for the job, I agree
Nothing is promised and nothing is free
Would you still do it with no guarantee?
You're either a saving grace or you're a disturbance
What did you do when given your purpose?

It's not the fact that you're not here
It's the way you disappeared
It's not the fact that you're not here
It's the way you disappeared
And who am I
When you're no longer here?

There's a light that we take and carry on
You and I found a way to be strong

Nowhere near
Nowhere near
Nowhere near we used to be
Nowhere near
Nowhere near
Nowhere near we used to be
